A day at the prairie

Yesterday my husband and I went visiting a couple prairies in central Missouri. It was great weather - perfect for being out in the field, though the sun was a bit bright for photos.




Here are some of the plants that we saw:

Dodecatheon meadia (Shooting Star)


Castilleja coccinea (Indian Paintbrush)

Lobelia spicata (Spiked Lobelia)
